The Rose is an iconic restaurant in the heart of Venice, serving locals and travelers alike since 1979.

Chef Jason Neroni presents modern California cuisine that is globally influenced and seasonally driven by local farms. The menu is complimented by a thoughtfully curated wine list, highlighting boutique producers focused on self sustainable practices. The bakery celebrates American classics, as well as some of the original Rose classics, re-conceptualized with their innovative techniques.

The sprawling space has indoor and outdoor dining areas including ample patio seating, a full market and bakery, Verve Coffee bar, and 40-foot craft-cocktail bar.

As good as it gets. The food is not merely excellent, it is off the chart outstanding. The chef has created summer seasonal plates with plums and nectarines and enhanced with pungent spices. The pastas are as good as in the best restaurants of Rome. The Cacio e pepe and the ravioli are spiced perfectly and to call them optimally al dente would be an understatement. We have dined at the finest restaurants in Los Angeles. None are better than the Rose Cafe in Venice.

The busboys understand the concept of service, unfortunately the servers do not. Imagine paying top price for an appetizer and the young server wants to take it away, has her hand on the dish, while there’s a substantial serving on the plate! And the drinks did not come from the bar, until after the food arrived. So, take it slow when you order, even if it takes the server a while to get to your table to take your order. The bar gets backed up. The servers response was very cold, when we reminded her we were waiting for our drinks. The calamari dish is served cold. Don’t order it. Pizza in the restaurant is $40, so if you want a choice of pizza at a standard price you’ll need to eat it in the bar.

Underwhelmed for a heavily reviewed 4.5 starred restaurant. Surprisingly, food was out too quickly to the point that the dishes were lacking flavor and were not that warm. You had to wonder how grilled octopus can come to your table in just 5 minutes. We were informed that the plates were sized to share, but not necessarily true for a few of the dishes. I definitely understand why there are no prices listed on their online menu.

It was hard for me to say YES. I've been to the Rose before and it was one of my favorite restaurants. I had head it had started to go downhill, and I was hoping the talk was wrong. My friend and I both ordered the tasting menu. The waitress couldn't answer our questions about the menu, we were told be the manager that they were "working on that". Some of the courses they brought were incorrect, the last course included snails, which wasn't listed on the menu. Needless to say, neither one of us eat snails and never would have ordered the dish if we had known. Overall a very disappointing experience.

The food was great, but the service was HORRIBLE. It was as if our waiter completely forgot about us. The food took forever to come, and in a span of 2 hours, we only got 1 drink each despite ordering another round 3 times. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Great atmosphere.Delicious menu.Music is too loud to have an intimate conversation so be prepared just to stare longingly at your date...The wait staff were so nice but over busy so messed up drink orders and appetizer orders.Still loved it...

Although very good restaurants abound all over Venice and Santa Monica, the Rose continues to excel and thus stay ahead of the pack. Menu items continue to change and delight, with seasonal flair and the best local produce to be found anywhere.

Party of two. We were seated 40 minutes after reservation time although open two tops were everywhere. Host was ice cold and seemed out of her depths. Basic cocktails for medium quality liquor were $17 each. No accommodations made for the late seating. Food very average and WAY overpriced. I’m not from LA area but can tell you this place would not make it one year in SF. Avoid unless you just want to be seen and drop a bunch of cash.

I have never had a better meal in the entire USA!! Just a great place with food made from scratch the way it should be...amazing selection, fresh and awesome! Do not miss the burrata ... Cannot wait to go back; may have to become a regular here!!

The hostess was the worst! She soured my experience greatly. When we left the restaurant, her goodbye was worse than her hello. Unfriendly, arrogant and her expression and lack of humanity was terrifying. I will try to avoid this place for the rest of my life.

I sent a note and asked our waitress about a candle in the dessert for my friend's birthday. I asked the waitress if we order dessert, is she able to bring it out with a candle, which she confirmed yes. When the dessert came out, there was no candle. I had to ask her about it, which created an awkward moment around my friend. She brings out a candle on a plate. I was disappointed with this botched amateur service and surprise, especially when I support Rose a lot.

Love the place, been there many times but tonight the service was really slow- it took forever for our stuff to come. And I feel like we picked the wrong things because the food was a little disappointing. That being said, we will still give it another chance because we have good memories

My fiancé and I decided to check out the dinner experience at The Rose because we loved their breakfast. We were a bit disappointed due to the food being salty and taking a long time to come out. It was a pretty good restaurant, and their service was great, but at that price point, they need to pay a little bit more attention to detail.
